Telling Umslopogaas to wait, I tumbled into my clothes and went off with him to Sir Henryk roora, where the Zulu repeated bis story word for wor<L It was a sight to watch Curtis* face as he heard it. "Great beavens*** be sahl; "here liave I been snoring away wlifle Xyleptba was nearly murdered-and alt through tao, too. What ft fiend that Sorais must be! It would have served her well if Umslopogaas had cut her down in the act.** "Ay," ?aid the Zulu. "Pear not: I should have slain her ere she struck; I was but "wait? ing the moment.** ? said nothing; but I could not help think? ing that many a thousand doomed lives would have been saved if be had meted out to Sorais the fate she meant for her sister. And, as the issue proved, I was right After he had 'told bis tale Umslopogaas went off unconcern ai ly to get bis moniing meal, and Sir Henry and I fell to talking. j At first he was very bitter against Good, who. he said, was no longer to be trusted, having designedly allowed Sorais to escape by some secret stair when it was his duty tc have handed ber over to . justice. Indeed he spoke in the most unmeasured terms on the matter. I let him run on a while, reflecting to myself how easy we find it to be hard on the weaknesses of others, and how teuder we are to our own. "Beally, my dear fellow.** I said at length, "one would never think, to hear you talk, that you were the mau who had an interview with this same lady yesterday and found it j rather difficult to resist ber fascinations, not withstanding your ties to one of the loveliest j and most loving women in the whole world. Kow suppose that it was -Kyieptha -.rho bad tried to murder Sorais, and you had Caught her, and she had pleaded with 3'ou, would you have been so very eager to hand her over to an open shame and to deatii by fire? Just look at the matter through Good's eyeglass -for a minute before you denounce an old *frieud as a sconndreL** He listened to this jobation submissively, and then frankly acknowledged that he had spo.en harshly. It is one of tho best points : in Sir Henry's character that he is always ready to adnntitwhen he is in the wrong. But, though 1 -spoko *up thus for Good, I was not blind to the*fact, however natural his .behavior might^be/it was obvious that he was being involved in a very awkward and dis? graceful complication. A foul and wicked murder bad been attempted, and he had let the murderess escape, ard thereby, amor, g j other things, allowed her to gain a complete ? ascendancy over himself. In fact he was in j a fair way to become her tool-and no more dreadful fate can befall a man than ^to be j come the tool of an unscrupulous woman, i or indeed of any woman. There is but one I end to it: when he is broken, or has served j her purpose, ho is thrown away-turned out on the world to hunt for his-lost self respect. While I was pondering thus and wondering what was to be done-for the who?e subject was a thorny, one-I suddenly heard -a great clamor iu'"?ic court yard outside and distin? guished the voices of Umslopogaas and Al? phonse-, 'thc former cursing furiously and the latter yelling in terror. Hurrying out to see what vas the "matter, I was met by a ludicrous sight. The little Frenchman was running up tho courtyard at an extraordinary sneed, and after him sped j Umslopogaas like a ?rreat greyhound. Ja^t as ! I came out he caught him, and lifting him i right off his legs, carried him some paces to a j beautiful but very dense flowering shrub j which bore a flower not unlike the gardenia, I but was covered with short thorns. Next-, despite his howls and straggles, he with one mighty thrust plunged poor Alphonse head first into the bush, so that nothing but the calves of his legs and his heels remained in evidence. Then, satisfied with what he had done, the Zulu folded his arms and stood grimly contemplating the Frenchman's kicks, arni listening to his yells, which were awful, j "What art thou doingT I said, running up. "Wouldst thou kill the man? Pull him out of the bush!** With a savage grant ho obeyed, seizing the j wretched Alphonse by the ankle, and with a 3erk that must have nearly dislocated it, tear? ing him out of the heart of the shrub. Never did I see such a sight as he px*esented, lus clothes half torn off his back, and bleeding as * he was in every direction from the sharp thorns. There he lay, and yelled and rolled, and there was no getting anything out of him. At last, however, he got up, and ensconcing himself behind me, cursed old Umslopogaas. I by every saint in the calendar, vowing by the blood ot Iiis heroic grandfather that he would poison him and "have his revenge.** At last I got tho truth of the matter. It j appeared that Alphonso habitually cooked I Umslopogaas1 porridge, which tho latter ate for breakfast in the-corner-of the court yard, just as h? would have done at home in Zulu- ? iand, from a gourd, and with a wooden \ spoon. Xow Umslopogaas had, .like many Zulus, a great horror of fish, which he con? sidered a species of water snake; so Alphonse, who was as fond of playing, tricks as a mon- j key, and who was also a consummate cook, determined to make him eat some. Accord- | lugly ho grated up a white fish very finely and mixed it with the Zulu's porridge, whe swallowed it nearly all down ia ignorance of wb:;t he was eating. But unfortunately fer Alphonse he could not restrain his joy at this sight and came ca; cring and peeping round, till at last Umslopogaas, who was clever in his way, suspected something, und after a careful examination of the remains of his porridge, discovered uthe buffalo heifer's*1 trick, and in revengo served him as 1 have said. Indeed, tho little man was fortunate not to get a broken neck for his pains: for, as one would have thought, he might have learned from the episode of his display of axmanship that le monsieur noir was an il) person to play practical jokes on. This incident was unimportant enough i:i itself, but I narrate, it because it led to serious consequences. As soon as he had stanched the breeding from his scratches and washed hin?self. Alphonse went ol?", still cursing, to recover his temper, a process which I knew from e.vi>erieiJco would take a very long time. When ho had gone, I gaye Umslo? pogaas a jobation, and told him that I was ashamed of his behavior. "Ah, well, Macumazahn,** ho said, "you must be gentle with rne, for here is not my place. I am weary of it-weary to death of eating and drinking, of sleeping and giving in marriage. I love hot this soft life in stone houses that takes tho heart out of a man, and turns his strength to water and his flesh to fat. I lovynot tho white roix-s and thc delicate women, the blowing of trumpets and thc flying of hawks. When we fought tho Masai at the kraal yonder, uh. then life was worth the living; but i ?ere is never a blow struck in anger, and 1 begin to think I shall go the wav of my fathers ami lift Inkosi-k?as no more," and he held up the ax and gazed at it in sorrow. "Ah." I said, "that is thy complaint, is it?*' Thou hast the blood sickness, hast thou? and the Woodpecker wants a tree. And at thy age, too. Shame on thee, Umslopogaas!'' ?Ay Macumnzahn, mine is a red trade, yet it Ls better and more honest than some. Bet? ter is it to slay a man in fair fight than to suck out his heart's blood in buying and sell? ing and usury, after your white fashion. Many a man have I slain, yet is there never a one that I should fear to look in tho face again; av, many are they who once were friends, and whom I should be right glad to snuff with. But there 1 there! thou hast thy ways, and I mine, each to bis own poo Die and his oven place. Tb.6 high veldt ox -will the fat-bush country, and so it is witl Slacumaznhn. I am rough, "I know i when my blood is warm I know not wt do, but yet wilt thou be sorry when the .swallows me and .1 am utterly lose blackness; for in tbyb> trt thou loves my father, Slacurnazahn the fox, thot: bo but a broken down Zulu wardog-a for whom there-is no room in his own 1 an outcast* and a wanderer in strange pi uv, I love thee, Macumazahn; for we grown gray together, and there is- tha tween us that cannot be seen, and yet h strong for breaking;" and he took his ? box, which was made of an old brass ridge, from the slit in Iiis ear, where bc al carried it, and handed it to me for n help myself. I took the pinch of snuff with some erne It was-quite true I "was much attached t bloodthirsty old ruffian. I don't know ' was the charni-of his character, 'but it h charm; perhaps it was its fierce honesty directness; perhaps one admired his al superhuman skill and strength, or it have been simply that he was so dbsoh unique. Frankly, with all my exper of savages, I never knew a man quite him, he was so wisc, and yet such a ? with it all ; and though it seems laugkab say so, likethe hero of tho Yankee pat he "had a tender heart." Anyway, I very fond of him, though I should r have thought of telling him so. "Av, old wolf," I said, "thine is a str; love. Thou wouldst qilit me to the chh stood in thy path to-morrow." "Thou speakest truth, Mucuraazahn; would I if it came in the way of duty, t> should love thee all the samo when tho 1 had gone fairly home." Is there any ch of some fighting here, "Macuinazahn?' went on, in an insinuating voice. "Metho that what I saw last night did show that two great queens were vexed one witt other, elso had the 'Lady cf the Night1 brought that dagger with her." I agreed with him that it showed that r or less pique and irritation existed bet"? the ladies, and told kim how things stood, that they were quarreling over Iucubu. "Ah, is it so?" he exclaimed, springing in delight; '-then will there be war as su as the rivers rise in the rains-war to the < Women love thc last blow as well as the word, and when they fight for love they pitiless as a wounded buffalo. See tl jtfacumazalm, a woman will swim thro blood to her desire, and think naught ol With these eyes have I seen it once, and ti also. Ah, Macumazahn, we shall see this place of houses burning yet, and hear tho tie cries come ringing up the street A .alk I have not wandered for nothing. . this folk fight, think yeH Just then Sir Henry joined us, and G arrived, too, from another direction, lool very pale and hollow eyed. The mon: Umslopogaas saw the latter ho stopped bloodthirsty talk and greeted him. "Ah, Bougwan," he cried, "greeting thee, Inkoos, thou art surely weary. D thou bent too much yesterday?" Then, w out waiting for an answer, he went on: "Listen, Bougwau, and I will tell the story; it is about a woman, therefore i thou hear it: is it not so? "There was aman, and he had a brotl and there --sa woman who loved the nu "brother, and was beloved of the man. . man's brother had a favorite wife, and lo' not the woman, and he made a mock of I Then the woman, being very cunning i fierce hearted for revenge, took comise! w herself, and said to the man, 1 love thee, t if thou wilt make war upon tlry "brothel will marry thee.' And ho knew; it was a y?t because of his groat love cf thc worn: who was very fair, did he listen to her wo: and made war. And when many people 1 been killed his brother sent to him, saj-ii 'Whyslayest thou me? What hurt hav done unto thee? From my youth up hav not loved thee? When thoa wast little die .not-wirtm'o thee, and have we not gonedo* to war together and divided tho cattle, c by girl, ox by ox, and cow by cow?- W s?uyest thou me, my brother, son of my o' mother!* ' % "Then'thc man's heart was heavy, and knew-that his. path was "-evil; and he i aside the tempting womal?, and ceased make war on his brother, and lived at pe: in thc same kraal with him. And after time tho woman came to him, and said, have lost the past, I will be thy wife.1 A in his heart he knew that ft was a lie, a that she thought tho evil thing, yet becai of his love did he talco her to wife. "And tho very night that they were wt whe? the man was plunged into a deep sic* did thc woman arise and tako his ax frc his hand, and creep into the hut of his broth and slay him in his rest. Then did she slh hack like a gorged lioness, and place t thong of the red ax back upon his wrist ai go her ways. "And at the dawning the people carno shot ing, 'Lousta is slain in the:-uight!' and th? came unto the but-of the -man, and thero i lay asleep, and by him was tho red a Then did they remember the war, and sa 'Lo! he hath of a surety slain his brothe: and they weald have taken and killed hir but he roso and fled swiftly, and as he fleet* by he" slow the woman. "But death could not wipe out the evil si had dor.e: and -on him rested the weight of a her sin. Therefore is he ail outcast; and:h name a scorn among his own people; for r. him, and him only, resteth the burden of h?. who betrayed!

Present? ! he lifted his head, which he had bowed to h ! breast, and went on: "I was that man, Bougwarf. Ou! I T; that man; and now hark thou! Even as am, so wilt thou bc-a tool, a plaything, au c i of burden to carry the evil deeds of anothe' j Listen! When thou didst creep after tl j *Lady of tho Night' I was hard upon th j track.

And now, when at last b" I spoke? it was in a tono of humility <jt:it< ! foreign to him. "I must say,"ho said with a 1 utter littL ! laugh, "that I scarcely thought that I shoult j live to bo tinghi my duty by a Zulu, but i ?just shows.what wo can come to.

"Look hero, old follow," said Sir TJonry, "just stop a minute; $ have a little tale to t -Il you, too." And ho proceeded to narrate what had taken plnoo tho previous day between Sorais and himself. This was a finishing stroke to poor Good. ! It is not pleasant to any man to lx> marlo a j tool of, but when tho circumstances are as ' peculiarly atrocious as in thc present ease it j is about as bitt.-r a pill as anybody can bo I culled upon to swallow. I "Do you know," he said,',:I 'think 'that be j tween you you fellows have about worked a j cure," and ho turned and walked away,and I j for one felt very sony for hbo. Ah, if tile i moths would always carefully avoid the can* j die, how few burnt wings there would be! That day was a court day, when the queens ? sat in the.great hall and received petitions, . discussed laws, etc., and thither we adjourned shortly afterwards. On our way we were joined by Good, who was looking exceedingly depressed, and no wonder. "When wc got into the hall Nyleptha was already on her throne, and proceeding with business-as usual, surrounded by councilors, courtiers, lawyers, priests^ and an unusually strong guard. It was, however, easy to see from the air of excitement and expectation on the faces of every!-.ody present that no? body was paying much attention to ordinary affairs, tho fact being that the knowledge that civil war was imminent had now got abroad. ^ Wesaluted Nyleptha and took our accustomed places, ;and for a little while tilings went on as usual, when suddenly the trumpets begau to call outside the palace, and from the great crowd that was gathered there in anticipation of some unusual event there rose a roar of "Sorais ! Sorais!4' Then?ame the'rollof many chariot wheels, and presently the great 'curtains at the end of the hall were drawn wide, and through them entered the "Lady of the -Night" herself. Nor did she come alone. Preceding her was Agon, the high priest, arrayed in his most gorgeous vestments, -and 'on either side were other priests. The reason for their presence was obvious-coming with them it would have been sacrilege to attempt todetain-faer. Behind her were a number of the great lords, and behind them a small body of picked guards. A glance at Sorais herself was enough to show that her mission was of no peaceful kind, for in place of her gold em? broidered "kai" she wore a shining tunic formetl of golden scales, and on her head a little golden helmet. In hor hand, too, she bore a toy spear, beautifully made and fash? ioned of solid silver. Up the hall she came, looking like a lioness iii her conscious pride and beaut}', and as she approached the spec? tators fell l>ack bowing and made a path for her. By the sacred stone she halted, and laying her hand ou it, she cr ed out with a loud voice to Nyleptha on the throne, "Hail, O queen !" "All hail, my -sister!*' answered Nyleptha "Draw thou near. Fear not, I give thee safe conduct." Sorais answered with a haughty look, and ? swept on tip the hall till she stood right be? fore the thrones. "A boon. 0 queen!" she cried again, j "Speak on, my sister: what is there I can give thee who hath half oar kingdom f "Thou canst tell me a^rue word-me and the people of Zu-Vendis. Art thou, or art thou not, about to take this foreign wolf," and she pointed to Sir Henry with her toy spear, "to be a husband to theei and share thy bed and throne?" Curtis winced at this, ai, ' turning towards Sorais, said to her in a low voice, ''Methinks that yesterday thou hadst other names than wolf to call me by, ? queen J" and I saw bet bite ber lips as, like a danger fing, the blood flamed red upon her face. As for Nyleptha, who is nothing if not original, she, seeing that the thing was out, and that there was nothing further to be gained by concealment, answered the question in a novel and effec? tual manner, inspired thereto, as I firmly be? lieve, by coquetry and a desire to triumph over her rival. Up she rose, and descending from the throne swept in all the glory of her royal grace cn to where her lover stood. There she stopped and untwined the golden snake that was wound around her arni. Then she bade him kneel, and lie dropped on one knee on tho marble before her: and next, taking thc golden snake with both her hands, she bent the pure soft metal round his neck, and when it w-as fast deliberately kissed him on the brow and en tied hun her MearflorxD' "Thou seesr," she said, when the excited murmur- of the spectators had died away, addressing her sister as Sir Henry rose to his feet, "I have put my collar round the 'wolfs neck-,' aird behold! he shall be my watch dog, and that is my ans wei* to t?eo, Sorais, my sister, and to those wit li thee. Fear not,'' she went om smiling sweetly on her lover, .yid pointing to'the golden snake she had twined round his massive throat. "If un? yoke be heavy, yet is it of pure gold, and it shall not gall thee." Then, turning to the audience, she con ' tinued, in a clear proud tone: "Ay; Lady of thc Night., }on\^, priests, and people here gathered together, by this sign do I take the foreigner: o husband, even here in the face o: ye all. What, am I a queen, and yet not free to choose the man whom I will love i Then should I be lower than the meanest girl in all my provinces. Nay, he hath won my heart, and with it goes my hand an?! throne and all ? have-ny. had he been a beggar instead of a great lord, fairer and stronger than any here, and having more wisdom and knowl? edge of strmige thing , I had given him all; how much more so, then, being what he is!" And she took his hand and gazed proudly on bim, and holding it, stood there boldly facing the people. And such was her sweet? ness, and the power and dignity of her per? son, and so beautiful she looked standing hand in hand there at her lover's side, so sure of him and of herself, and so ready to lisle all things and endure ali things for him, that most of those who saw the sight, which I am sure no one of them will ever forget, caught the fire from ber eyes and the happy color from her blushing face, and cheered, her like wild things. Ir. wasa bold stroke for lier to make, and ir appealed to the imagination; but human nature in Zu-Vendis, as elsewhere, loves that which is bold and not afraid to brea!: a nile, and is moreover peculiarly sus? ceptible to appeals to its poetical side. And so the ]>eople cheered lill the roof rang; bot "Sorais of the Night" stood - there with downcast eyes, for she could rot btw to see I her sisters triumph, which robbed her ot' thc mai?, whom she had hoped to win; and in the ? awfulness of lier jealous anger she trembled | ami tinned white like an aspen in the wind. I think I have said somewhere of her that she reminded me of the sea on a calm day, having thc same aspect of sleeping pow-er about her. Well, it was all awake now, and, like the face of the furious ocean, it. awed and yet fascinated me. A really haiisdomc woman in a royal rage is always a beaut ifni sight, but such beauty ?nd such a rage 1 never sa w combined before; and ? can only say that the effect produced was well worthy of tho two. She lifted her white face, the teeth were set. and ibero were purple rings beneath ln-r glowing eyes. Thrice she tried to speak, and thrice sh--failed, but at last her voice came. Raising her silver spear, she shook it. and the )i"h* glanced from it and from tho g. .Iden seal- s of her cuirass. "And thinkest thou, Nyleptha.**she said, it. notes which pealed timthe great hall like a clarion-*'thin?ces? thout?eit I. aq;i'-on of *he Zu-Ver.di, wi'] brook that ti.!-; base outlander shall sst upon my father's throne, and rear up half brwd-? t<> tii! tho place of tho great house <>f the Stairway?

"Now hand thou over this foreign wolf, and those who come to prey here "with him; to tho doom of fire, for have they not committed tho deadly sin against thc Sun? or, Nyleptha, I* give thee war-red war.' Ay, I say to theo that the path of thy passion shall be marked out by the blazing of thy towns, and watered with the blood of those who cleave to Ihee. On thy head rest thc burden of thc deed, and in thy cars ring the groans of the dying and the cries of the widows and those who are left fatherless forever and forever. ^ "I tell thee-I "will tear ib?c. jsylept?ia, the White Queen, from thy throne, and ihoirshnlt be hurled-ay, burled, even 1 rom the topmost stair of the great way to the foot thereof, in that thou ba?<t coverered the name of the bouse of him who buik it with black shame. And I tell ye, strangers, all save thou, Bong wan, whom because thou didst me a service I will save alive if thou wilt leave these roen and follow me" (herc poor Good shook his head vigorously, and ejaculated, "Can't be done," in Euglisb), "that I wfll wrap you in sheets of gold and hang you yet alive in chains from the four golden trumpets of the four angels that fly east and west, and north and south from the giddiest pinnacles of the temple, so that ye may be a token and a warn? ing to the laud And as for th.ee, Incubu, thon shalt dio in yet another fashion that I will not tell theo now.*' She ceased, panting for breath, for her pas? sion shook her like a storm, and a murmur, partly of horror and partly, of admiration, ran through the hall. Then Nyleptha an? swered calmly and with dignity. "Ill would it become my place and dignity, O sister, so to speak ns thou hast spoken, and "sc to threat as thou hast threatened.

Yet thou, who but yesterday didst strive to win my lover-and my lord from rae, whom today thou dost call 'a ''foreign 'wolf,' to be thy lover and thy lord" (here there was an im? mense sensation in the hall), "thou who but last uight, as I have learned but since thou didst enter'here, didst creep like a snake into my sleeping place-a}*, even by a secret way, and wouldst, have foully murdered me, thy sister, as I lay asleep** "It is false!, it is false!"' rang out Agon's ami a score of other voices. "It is not false," said I, producing the broken point of the dagger and holding it up. "Where is thc haft from which this flew, SoraisT "It is not false," cried Good, determined at Inst to act like a loyal man. "I took her by the queen's bed, and on my breast the dagger broke." "Who is'On "fey "sid?-1 cried Sorais, shaking her silver spear, for sho saw that public sympathy was turning against her. "What, Bougwan, thou consent rt?tr she said, ad? dressing Good, who was standing close to her, in a low, concentrated voice. ""Thou pale souled fool! for a reward tuon shalt eat out thy heart with lovo of me and not be satis? fied, and thou mightest have been ni}'- hus? band and king ! At le;ist I hold th'eein chains that cannot be broken. "War! war! war!" she cried. "Here with my hand upon the sacred stone that shall en? dure, so runs the prophecy, till the Zu-Vendi set their necks beneath thc alien yoke, I de? clare war to tho end. Who follows-Sorais of tho Night to victory and honor?" Instantly tho whole concourse began to break up in indescribable confusion. Many present hastened to ' throw in then* lot with -The Lad}- of the Night," but some came from her following to us. Among tho for? mer was nu under officer of Nyleptba's own guard, who -suddenly turned and made a run for the doorway through which Sorais' people were airead}' passing. Umslopogaas, who was present and had taken the whole scene in, seeing with admit able presence of mind that if the soldier got away others would follow his example, seized the man. who drew his sword and struck at him. Thereupon thc Zulu sprang back wiih a shout, and avoiding tho sword cuts I ?egan to peck at his foe with his terrible ax, till in a few seconds thc man's fate overtook 1 um, and ho fell with a clash heavily and quite dead" upon the marble floor. This was the first blood spilled hi the war. "Shut the gates!*' I shouted, thinking that wc might perhaps catch Sorais so. But the order cam*, too late, her guards were already passing through them, and hi another minute thc streets echoed with tho furious galloping of horses and the rolling of chariots. So, drawing half the people after her, So? rais was soon passing like a whirlwind through thc Frowning City on her road to : her head? quarters at M'Arstur.a, a fortress situated 12J miles to the north of Mi'osLs. And after that the city was alive with the endless tramp of regiments and the prepara? tions for war, and old Utnslopogaas onco moro began to sit in tho sunshine and go through a show of sharpening Inkosi-kaa* razor eil ge. CHAPTER XIX. A STRANGE WEDDING. Ono person, however, did not succeed in getting out in time before tho gates were shut, and that was'the high priest Agon, who, ; as we had every reason to bel ?eve, was Sorais' greatally and tho hear* and soul of her party. This cunning and ferocious old man had not I forgiven us for those hippopotami,-or rather that was what he said What he meant was that he never would brook the introduction of our wider ways of drought and foreign learn? ing and influence while there was a jto^ibility of stamping us out. Also h<* knew that we possessed a different system of religion, and no doubt was in daily terror of our attempt? ing to introduce it into Zu-Vend is. One dav he asked nie if we had any religion in our country, and I told him that so far as I could remember we had ninety-five different ones. You might have knocked him down with a feather; and really it-is difiicult n<>t to pity a high priest of a well established cult, who is haunted by the possible approach of one or all of ninety-five new religions.

OON after tho close of thc civil -war in tho United States immigration, al? ways of no mean proportions, in? creased rapidly. It w? then tho American public first began to hear much of commun? ism, socialism and anarchism. In thc maximum was reached when 733,902 Europeans landed in the United States. Immigration from Eng? land had declined and that from Ireland ?allen to a mmimtun; -but from southern "Germany there was an immense increase, while eastern Europe sent Poles, Bohemians, Russians, Hungarians and their congeners by tens of thousands. In many of these people hatred of government had become a heredi? tary sentiment. Chicago became headquar? ters for thc discontented, and The Arbeiter Zeitung (Workers' Journal) their organ. Then sprung up in that city the International Workingmens association. The platform or declaration of principles of tbisorganization, as was testified to at the trial, urged that ""the present system under which property- is owned by individuals should be destroyc<l, and that all capitel which has been produced by labor should l>c transformed into com? mon property." TL? association was divi? ded into "groups," of which there were eighty in the United States in March, 1SS5, located principally in the cities of industry. SCEXE OF THE BOMB THROWING. Tho Chicago groups were knov.ii as tho North Side, tho Northwest Side- tho Amcri -oan, the Karl Marx, the Freiheit, thc South? west Side and Jeff orson No. L Schwab, Neebo and Liugg belonged to the North Side "group';*' Engel and Fischer to the Northwest Side, and Spies, Parsons and Fie?den to tho American. There was also an armed social? istic organization called the Lehr und Wehr Verein, whose members seem to have also been members of the International 4"*TOups," but to have been of a higher rank. Thc bianch of tho International Working men's association which existed in Chicago during and up to May 4,1SS0, was a com? pact, well disciplined organization. At the head of it was a general of central commit? tee. Next to it carno tho Lehr mid Wehr' Vcrein.' Then came the''armed sections" of thc varions "groups," and then carno the un? armed members of th? "''groups." JUST BEFORE THE TRAGEDY. Thc evolution of the tragedy was curiously regular. First, as has been shown, these men taught radical Socialism, Next, they organized dis? contented workingmen to act more eGlelcntly in strikes. The usual trouble arose: "scabs" took the place of striking workmen, they were attacked by the strikers, tho police wcro called on for protection and tho inevitable question was presented-shall we fight? The Anarchists, in speech and in Tho Arbeiter Zeitung, vehemently urged destructive measure---. Thor exhorted thc striker:" to fight both thc "scabs'' and tho police, give minute instructif ?ns hov.- to use mtro-glyccriuo and manufacturo bombs, and had "armed tact'ons*' of their supporters who drilled i nightly and were instructed in the use of j boin::::.

Ali ?iS? upon tho general observance o? tho law. Ct is not necessary to detail thc numerous strikes and occasional ri-ots cf thc following two years in various sections of the country; romeo it, that each one was eagerly sci-c-I ipon by the anarchist? as fresh proof that capital was crushing labor. On April 2;"5, ?SS5, tnc board cf trade building was fcrrriaily opened; there was a somewhat riotous popular demonstration igainst it. and Fieldenand Parsons addressed the assemblage- in language more inflamma? tory than ever before.

On May 1.tho workingmen of Chicago, with few excep? tions, carried out their plan cf a general strike for an eight hour day. Tho strike was veil managed and partially succcssfuL On May 3 August Spies delivered a fierce philip? pic against the non-union men still employed it the McCormick works, and there was an mcounter between "?-te "scabs'* and police on mc side and tho strikers on the other. A short and terrible fight occurred; several men were killed and many mere wounded in carious degrees. From the battle ground August Spies hurried to thc oGcc of The Arbeiter Zeitung, wrote and had printed and "istributed the noted revenge ch'eular.. On May -Jfc there was rioting nearly o3 day DU Blue Island avenue, near tho McCormick worics. Tho First regiment was ordered to be in readiness at its armory and the cntiro police force was kept in instant readiness. Thc- Arbeiter Zeitung of that morning urged ilestructive action, and the Anarchists were busy among tho strikers all day. Thousands of copies of the foUowing hotico were scat? tered through the city: ATTENTION.*, wonscrGME::! Croat mass meeting to-r. "ght at 7:30 o'clock at the Haymarket.

On the evening of May 4 about C,0C0 people assembled. The managers placer! the wajon on. which the speakers were to stand a little way up Desplomos street from tho Hay? market, by the mouth of a convenient alloy, and at a point whore they could have a full view of tho police as the latter advanced from their "Dcsplaincs Street station. Mayor Carter Harrison was in tho crowd and ex? pressed some surprise at the mildness of the first speakers, Spies and Parsons. The crowd was disappointed, too, and was fast inciting away, when Ficidon took his stand in the wagon. His most intimate English friends could not have recognized the mild Metho? dist exhorter and Laborer of other days. Ills frenzied declamation excite.! what r'emamcd of tho crowd, and their applause reacted on hun. It was ?esti?ed at tho trial that ho called for immediate action in these words: Arm !
